Sai, who was in labor with her second child, was carried by her husband, Sundar Rao and family members to YB Patnam, where she delivered the baby. Later, she was taken to Buchayyapeta Primary Health Centre (PHC) by ambulance.

The village is home to 70 families from a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG), with a population of around 290.
